TrailBuddy Walking Poles - Pack of 2 Lightweight, Adjustable Trekking Poles for Hiking, Camping & Backpacking - Walking Sticks w/Cork Grip and Padded Strap

The poles are good quality feel robust. I think they will last a long time. I use these rather than a walking stick. They allow me to stand up straight and not lean over as in using stick. So keep my back straighter. I can also walk faster which helps with my overall fitness. As an older user, I would say give them a try. They are fully adjustable and the hand straps make them very secure. I don't feel as if I would trip up or fall. Safety in walking with these is good. I saw my orthopaedic consultant and mentioned that I was using the poles to help with my spine and knee problems, he said that they we a really good idea and a number of his patients had benefitted from the use of poles. (No particular make of course) From my perspective I can walk further and faster and breath easier, which surely must be of health benefit. I am no expert! I would say to anyone with similar health issues to give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Just arrived and practiced around the house to get used to them. Easy to assemble and the graduation marks on the shafts make sure you get the right height for you. The handles are comfortable to hold and the wrist straps can be adjusted to suit. I’m waiting for a hip replacement and these poles will help me to walk upright and give me support, they are sturdy. Comes with a storage bag and supplied with different ends for muddy conditions and snow. Really pleased with them, I feel sure they will help and enable me to get out and walk with more confidence, plus much more ‘fashionable’ than the usual walking sticks!

I took my new poles to Switzerland. It took a couple of tries to make sure the screws were tight enough to prevent the poles from slipping down. Comfortable cork handles and good wrist bands. All in all I am happy with my poles and the cost is good. I would have liked them to be more compact.

I bought these as I was having real trouble with my balance and walking was difficult, after a serious illness. I was fairly stable on smooth ground but had no confidence on rough ground. These poles have given me back my confidence and made walking anywhere easy again. They are very well made and easily support my body weight in a lean test. ( I am not light ). They are easily adjusted and fold down small and light enough to carry with ease. I have just spent a week in Wales and happily walked, beaches loose stone ragged rock, mud and slippery wooded slopes. I have nothing but praise, and gratitude for these poles. I highly recommended them

Sturdy and easy to use. Perfect for pretending you don't need a walking stick and indeed, better than a walking stick because you don't have all your weight on one stick or on one wrist. They've helped me strengthen my legs following an illness and I have high hopes of walking properly again without them one day.

Purchased a pair for when I'm hill walking to help save my knees. Im 6ft2 and 260 and theyre strong enough to take me using them like ladder handles etc. Pack away small and light though. Definitely recommend

I previously used my poles for dog walking over unstable ground and when walking for longer periods. I got a second set at the beginning of the year after a knee injury, where I needed to use a single pole for support on a daily basis. I found and still find them so much easier to use than traditional walking sticks. I do know that if I were doing Nordic walking or I was hiking for long distances, I would choose differently, but these are pretty unbeatable when it comes to the price, ease of use, and overall toughness. I can say with total confidence that these are a great first pair of poles and are ideal for general use.

These trekking poles are amazing quality, they saved me slipping a few times on the mountain today and also took a bit of strain off my girlfriends arthritic knees. BUT… I absolutely loved the cork grip (I have really thick skin on my hands so not a issue) but my girlfriend (who has soft sensitive skin) found the cork grip abrasive which was causing sores on her hands. We are going to buy some new grip wrap to go around the cork grip for my girlfriend, she loved the trekking poles with gloves on which isn’t ideal for a warm day having to wear gloves. these are great, but if you have soft sensitive skin make sure you take gloves or grip tape for a emergency if the cork starts to aggravate your hands or just buy a trekking pole with rubber grips instead.

Just received. First impression - Impressed. Well made, once adjusted as per instructions doesn't slip. Excellent attention to details in design and instructions. Good set of accessories (though I've ordered six pack of rubber tips along with poles as I expect to use these most). Will update once I start using them, over this weekend, hopefully.

低価格だがよくできており、ほとんどの場合、これで十分と思う。

La descrizione del peso è palesemente errata: "ogni bastoncino pesa solo 113 grammi, per un peso totale di circa 226 grammi per la coppia" Ogni bastoncino pesa sui 300g la coppia almeno 600g

とてもよかった

Très agréable à utiliser, pourrait être plus court pour mettre dans la valise!
